Timelines and senses collide inside an old hammam, now set up as a modern spa. When masseuse Avani touches her client Shantanu, she awakens the sensory memory of Huzaifa, her long gone brother. Suddenly, all three inhabit a liminal space between past, present and future. Within the lushness of the steam haze, we’re invited to sit with the uncertainty and beauty that permeates this fleeting moment.
